As someone who prefers plane-style controls, I would say that have a rather hard time mentally rotating 3D controls. I suppose that's what the article would call 'inverted controls', but the description is terrible: 'pus

Gauche was made to get some real work done and as a result it comes with a kitchen sink and the entire forest. There's also Loko if you want/need low-level operations.

If J is the right tool to use to handle a problem with, Prolog is an alright tool for that purpose, and Python is kind of a bad fit; why would you use Python instead of J or Prolog? If I need to drive a screw I'll first grab a screwdri
